Highly Enantioselective Proton-Initiated Polycyclization of Polyenes
摘要:
This report describes the synthesis of a range of chiral polycyclic molecules (tricyclic to pentacyclic) from achiral polyene precursors by enantio-selective proton-initiated polycyclization promoted by the 11 complex of o,o'-dichloro-BINOL and SbCl5. Excellent yields (ca. 90% per ring formed) and enantioselectivety (20:1 to 50:1) were obtained. The process is practical as well as efficient, because the chiral ligand is both readily prepared from R,R- or S,S-BINOL and easily recovered from the reaction mixture by extraction.
